Publications
Here is a list of some of Johan’s publications and writings. Some in English, some in Swedish, some in both languages. Hopefully you will be able to benefit from them independent of your language skills through tools such as AI.
A prompt for learning
A study from the UK Government shows that “How I learn about things” is the biggest use case for AI. Since many people use AI to learn about things I put together a system prompt here that you can upload to any AI assistant you use for your learning to make your learning hopefully a bit better. It’s based on the science of learning to make learning efficient, but also behavioral science to make it realistic. This is for when you want to explore a topic, not when you just want to snap a photo of your bike to learn how to adjust the gears. Hope helps. Keep learning.
Well-being posters
On each poster the research is summarized in terms of what increases the probability of sustainable well-being. Perhaps download and rotate once per week or month at you school or at home to learn more? Available in English and Swedish, see buttons below for a free pdf-download.

I have nothing to do

Självstyra (Swedish)
In this book Johan goes through what it takes to live the life you want to live and work to become the person you want to be. The book revolves around the three areas of the choice you need to make to live your life and not just be a victim of circumstances, the values that guides the direction of your life, and the constant learning and innovation needed to walk in the direction of your values. If you’re looking for a book that is easy to digest and apply to make a meaningful change in your life this is it.
Marketing Goes Digital
